Legal Chotto Shotto Patcher [B]

PSP CamLostprophet - ostensibly known as PJPSP until now - has just informed us here at QJ that the second release of the legal Chotto Shotto patcher is now available. This release now patches the usbcam.prx file needed by the PSP USB camera to firmware 3.02.

Instructions:
  1. Dump the 'Flash0:KDusbcam.prx' file to the memory stick. If you're on firmware v2.71SE, it could be in the 'KN' folder, not 'KD'.
  2. Place it in the same directory as the executable.
  3. Open the program, and Press 'Crack'. If you want to keep a backup, tick the box in the window.
  4. If the module is valid, it will be updated to firmware v3.02's version.
  5. The output file will be called "USBCAM.PRX2". Rename it to "USBCAM.PRX", and place it in a folder on your memory stick.
  6. Flash the file with PSPFILER to Flash0:KDusbcam.prx, or if you're in 2.71SE, you may find the PRX in the KN folder instead.
Click on the download link below to get the zip. Be sure to give the included readme file a look before installing the patcher. If done incorrectly, Flashing to the PSP's flash may cause your PSP to go bonkers, so always be careful.

Lostprophet is also looking for someone who can code a simple flasher with just a text GUI to reflash the module, so if you're able to do that then drop him a line at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

still can't understant what is the use of all this. (still not mentionned in the news, nor in the readme!)



Also, first step says to dump that damn usbcam.prx from the installed firmware. But on 2.71SE-C (for instance), this precise prx is NOT available (btw this is why usbcam.prx, along with usbmic.prx, had to be flashed in to be able to use the chotto edit umd + the chotto cam on a 2.71SE-C firmware powered psp).

Does the Chotto work in DH emulating 3.01/3.02?



If not PJPSP work on a plugin that enables this, it would be awesome!

does the patcher recognize the usbcam.prx dumped from FW2.80 using PSP Filer?

# wtf...Guest 2006-12-12 13:45
Just put the camara on the top of your psp, you dont need any umd. Use devhook to emulate 3.00, 3.01, or 3.02 firmware. While in 3.XX firmware, go to photo, and then to camara... The umd's that come with the choto shot are prety useless, because they were meant for firmware 2.8 or somethin which was before the camara option in xmb on 3.xx psps... with the latest devhook you can run the camara with no umds... just the camara, and the psp. I dont know what the sense in this "patch" is...

i asked this question before i jus dont remember where so i cant c who answered it but........is there a reason why when u go to the camera option under photo and u do NOT have a camera plugged in, it says "Connect A camera that is compatible with the PSP system to the USB connector." it says "A" rather than "the" or "Chotto Shot." could this mean any camera?

# yea, been over this beforeRaiderX 2006-12-12 15:33
no confirmed answer, but I suppose since it was only released in japan, sony doesn't want to label it as choto shoto in the firmware because they might change the name in other regions, or release different cameras wit different name

# I agree with RaidenXGuest 2006-12-12 17:40
I really believe there will be 3rd party cameras, and probably alternate cameras by sony. I just would find it strange for sony to only make One kind of camera. that would be weird for that company.

I don't think Sony has even mentionned the camera eventually being available outside Japan. You can buy it (along with the useless UMD) from yamato-export for around 30 bucks. I got it a couple of weeks later +) (but I must warn you this camera is pretty crappy + useless anyway)...



HAS ANYONE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT DA HELL IS THIS "PATCH" FOR ???

# Devhook & 3.02Guest 2006-12-13 05:04
Don't know if this helped but I after doing this, I installed 3.02 with devhook and am able to use the camera in the photo menu. Pushing "SELECT" switches between photo and camera/movie mode. And you can record longer than 15seconds! I believe it works out how long you can record by looking at how much free space you have. I like this much better than that Chotto Shot software.

There are many options, as well as four different image sizes: 320x240, 480x272, 640x480, and 1280x960. IQ setting, White Balance, Exposure Adjustment, Effects (there's a nice on-the-fly sktech effect). When it comes to movies, you can choose between four different sizes: 320x240 (15fps), 320x240 (30fps), 480x272 (15fps), 480x272 (30fps), as well as Image Quality setting, White Balance and Exposure Adjustment. Hitting "L" lets you review your photos, and "R" takes pictures/video. Going to "PHOTO" in the XMB, you can view your photos under the "Digital Camera Images" (already had that folder since 1.5; created the "folder" for my camera pics). You can also go to "VIDEO" in the XMB, and udner "Digital Camera Recordings", you'll find your vids, which can also be played on your PC.

When it comes to sizes, my 38 second clip of my room with some music playing in the background (I must say it does a good job at capturing audio) with a res of 480x272 @ 30fps is ~26mb (linear pcm 344 kbps 22.050 kHz). Motion JPEG sucks, but I'll probably compress the vids once I transfer them to my PC.

This is the first patcher that allows the chotto to be used on firmware 2.71 (no other firmware) LEGALLY without emulation.

Don't go saying it's a crap release just because you're a software pirate who spends his life in front of a PC monitor.



So what if you still need the UMD? As long as it works, I have no reason to complain.
